Ben and Carlos talk about Ben’s most recent scouting trip, where he saw some of the top 2026, 2027 and 2028 class high school players in the country. The two talk about a handful of the biggest major league promotions of the last week, think about Jacob Wilson’s season and how that could impact how we view Marek Houston, talk through MacKenzie Gore’s season and the ETAs of high-end prep arms and also discuss the upcoming MLB Draft combine.
